Depth of Field

 This DOF photo is of my friend Max. He's standing on the sidewalk pondering the meaning of life in Portland, Oregon. When I took this photograph, I had a high aperture and a quick shutter speed. To edit this, I increased the contrasted and cropped some things out.

 This photo also exhibits depth of field. I took this picture of a plant at the Rose Garden in Portland, Oregon. This photo had a medium aperture with a high shutter speed. To edit this, I cropped it and centered the flower but also by increasing the contrasts and temperature.

My third photo also exhibits depth of field. This is a photo of my friend, Mckenzie who is taking a photo of me as you can see through her lens. I took this photo by zooming in all the way with my lens and then standing back until the camera is easily visible. I edited this by increasing the contrast and temperature.

Creative Controls Using Motion


This my example of a Slow Motion photo. Here, we have Max walking in the middle of the road. In order to take this shot I needed a low shutter speed as well as a high aperture. I chose this photo because I thought it looked unique since Max only appears to have one leg.


 This photo is my example of a Freeze Action shot. This is a shot of a water fountain in the middle of the Portland State University campus. In order to take this shot, I increased the shutter speed and adjusted the aperture to my liking. I chose this photo because I thought the water looked cool as it splashed off of the steps.

This photo is an example of a panning shot. Here, we have my good friend, Dahbin running down the sidewalk in order to catch the bus. In order to take this shot, I left the shutter speed at an average speed and kept the aperture at an average speed as well.


This photo is an example of Total Motion because of the fluid blurriness. This is a photo of Will in downtown Portland. In order to take this shot I increased the shutter speed and adjusted the aperture based on the lighting. I also took this by zooming in with my lens as soon as the camera took the picture. I chose this photo because I like the way it turned out.
